Reposted on: 2.2.23 0742.55 | Brock going soft/showing restraint - is this a thing now, that started when he let the Wyatts live at the Rumble? Triple H should have known better to question Brock about letting Ambrose walk...Brock went from a green band shirt to a red band one. If anything, he's more dangerous.
Man, Lesnar vs. Ambrose would be such a fun match. So would Triple H vs. Ambrose, but no one is going for that carrot and buying into Ambrose as the Fastlane winner. Rather, I'm reaching for the Styles/Bryan carrot that I don't think anyone is actually dangling.

Reposted on: 2.2.23 0812.28 | | Brie?! Really that is who we are going to get for Charlotte for Fastlane? I am ok with it if it saves Charlotte/Banks/Becky for Mania. I am also ok with another round of Jericho/Styles. Brock the Destroyer is always good. I do think the Wyatts will cost him the match at Fastlane instead of HHH's speech blowing up on him. Who knows Brock could break his arm prior to Mania and then we get a Wrestlemania IV style tournament to justify it being five hours long. | Spiraling_Shape

Reposted on: 2.2.23 0849.06 | Owens won pretty much every prior TV meeting with Dolph; I was okay with Ziggler getting the win here. I imagine Owens regains the I-C between now and Fastlane and retains against Dolph there, going on to defend against Zayn or Styles or both at Mania.
WWE priorities, in order of importance.
1) Mock Lillian's gaffes.
2) FIGURE OUT HOW TO BOOK MANIA WITH A TON OF GUYS HURT.
I like how JBL talked up the importance of winning on the road to Mania. Yeah, get some wins and you'll get on the card; lose and you'll probably get on the card anyway through the now-traditional battle royal and ladder schmozz.
At least it made sense that no one tried to save Big Show. How many times has he turned on, well, everybody?
I don't like Sasha going face, but if they're set on Charlotte-Sasha for Mania, someone has to be a face. At least Naomi has something to do now.
I am given to understand that one is a horrible sexist individual if one doesn't believe that the Bellas are God's gift to women's wrestling and I offer no further comment.
They REALLY don't want A.J. to talk.
The fans aren't booing; they're chanting ROOOOO-MAN.
Liked the Ambrose stuff with Brock.
I honestly don't understand why they mention Daniel Bryan's name on TV or do anything to encourage possible chants in that regard (like Mrs. Bryan doing the kick sequence). | graves9

Reposted on: 2.2.23 1047.33 | Miz was really good in his role and got AJ even more over than he already was. The line saying AJ's a little redneck that was a big fish in a small pond that was surely written by Vince qas frustating. That said, Miz got the fans to loudly chant AJ's name and AJ showed great fire in beating down Miz and I am looking forward yo their match on Smackdown. The WWE did a good job advertising AJ's appearance on Raw numerous times and gave him a top of the hour segment again.
The Uso's vs the Social Outcasts was not good though we got a super kick party, the crowd was dead for this as we know nothing about the Usos and the Outcasts are as low rent as it gets
Dolph going over Owens was strange given how Dolph jobbed to Heath Slater a few weeks ago and Owens last week, did Owens pissed someone off?
Ambrose had a good most of the night as he carried himself well in the segment with Brock and I'd love to see them have a one on one match and I'd prefer Ambrose vs HHH at Wrestlemania too.yeah he got destroyed at the end but he looked like a star all night and his line calling Roman his sidekick after Steph called him Roman's sidekick was really well delivered.
Surprised no one mentioned the Rusev tv champion sign and Lilian's screw up which was funny at first and then you started to feel bad for her after the WWE beat it to death.

Reposted on: 2.2.23 1222.54 | I hate how much fun they get out of making fun of Lilian's mistakes. It's not 2000 when she would get everybody's name wrong. They still gleefully show her tripping down the entrance ramp that one time years ago. We will be hearing Michael Cole laugh about the Grammys for the next twenty years. Be A STAR (unless it's one of our people we like to make fun of all the time)!
I get the idea of Miz TV, but it happens too often. Can we break it up with another interview segment? Do we need Miz TV weekly? Can we get Prince Pretty's Parlor or something every now and then to give somebody else a shot?
Ambrose vs Brock seems fun. It will be fun to watch. We won't get any more of it past Fastlane, of course, because King Roman and Dean will be shoved in some eight man I-C title match.
New Day rocks.
I miss miss Team B.A.D. vs New Day in backstage antics.

Reposted on: 3.2.23 0237.28 | Pretty good Raw in my opinion.
Obviously because they changed things up ever so slightly.
Having Heyman & Brock walk out first put some momentum in the show and Ambrose is always fun to hear.
Steph trying to mess with their heads was decent too.
I especially liked Ambrose saying that Reigns is HIS sidekick.
Miz TV was...awesome. I do think AJ will do alright on the mic but this way people will know he'll have a southern draw we haven't heard since JR.  But more importantly, Miz put him over by making sure to mention how good he was, how much heh as accomplished and even comparing him to everyone's darling Daniel Bryan. By saying that it might put the seed in people's mind that this guy is as much fun as Bryan is/was.
As for "big fish in small pond" type of comments. Yes it's silly but in a way of course also true because people hav. And even then, it does help a new guy get over. "You are small league here, you cannot beat the 6 time cham===oh you just beat the 6 time champ. You DO belong here" Simple but effective.
